Businesses have figured out that confidentiality/privacy rules allows them to cut back and be lazy in the customer service area.

I understand the merit of the rules, but there needs to be organized and efficient ways to navigate around them and get information. Just give me the info [expletive].

I wonder what the sixty-ish gent in the Jimmy Buffett t-shirt was up to. I'm out walking the dog and as I hit the trail I see him walking down the path with a plastic grocery type bag in his hand. We walk a hundred yards or so down the path then I notice him head down the bank toward the creek, then head off into the brush. A few minutes later I see him back on the path without his plastic bag of who-knows-what.

Could have been me -except for the Jimmy Buffet t-shirt.

I pick up other people's trash from the park woods. Sometimes, I spot it while walking the dog and then pass it by for weeks -typically plastic cups from starbucks or mobil-on-the-run. It's hard to get into the brush with an unwilling 90lb galoot on the leash. sometimes, I am tired of seeing it and go back without the dog and pick it up.

This is OCD more than a do-gooder thing.

Either I misspoke or you misunderstood. He was walking- away from Marshall's- along the path with a ... oh, you're saying he jumped down the embankment to pick up additional trash and had pitched it by the time I saw him again, correct?
I think he was burying the evidence. Or maybe he pooped.

Oh -he left the bag. That is a tough one to figure.

I just spent ten minutes walking all over my apartment to find my Cards cap. Not in the kitchen. Bathroom. Couch area. Laundry. Desk. Turned my cap backwards so I could look under the bed.

Oops.

I used to do that with my glasses after waking up from a nap or something. I would search everywhere before I finally realized that the only reason I could even see was because I was wearing them.
